Roadgrater vibration.........

[was2hi]

I have a 2002 S-10 with a V6,Auto,reg cab, short bed. I just finished installing the Roadgrater set-up for the rear and now I have a vibration from 20-50 mph. Any suggestions on how to get rid of this vibration? Thanks.

Sounds like it could possibly be a misaligned drivline. Might need to change the pinion angle or transmission to fix it. Do you know how to check driveline angle, or know someone who can.
Also did you put new tires on, it could be a wheel out of balance. Any other changes to the vehicle would be helpful.
Thanks

Darren,how do I go about adjusting the pinion angle? Do I uses shims or do I adjust the length of the lower links? Thanks for the help.

If you give me your fax # I have an article that explaines it very well. Send it as a private message if you like.
Most S-10s we' ve done are the longer extended cabs, I wouldn' t think that I would matter enough to make a driveline vibration but its possible.
